Author's Notes: For this prompt http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/9742.html?thread=19847694#t19847694. It's my first time writing this pairing, so please, constructive criticism. If you guys like it, I may continue this pairing.
Summary: Arthur, Ariadne and Eames want to know who the dad is.

Rebecca was late. Very, very late. Damn that traffic accident, damn that random guy with the car full of chemicals and beakers and damn all those cats. Actually, Rebecca took that back; she liked cats.

She rushed into the office with her briefcase and a lunch bag in one hand and her ID card and coffee in another. Karen, the receptionist, just glared at her. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first example of Rebecca’s lateness.

“I know I’m so late. Just let me know when my first appointment gets here.” Rebecca said fast walking to her office. Karen smiled an evil smile.

“They’re already here.” Rebecca inwardly cringed and walked into her office. There are three people in front of her desk but she didn’t even glance their way as she began her spiel.

“I’m so very sorry I’m late. There was this crazy traffic accident. This random guy, he looked possibly Indian but that doesn’t matter, had a van full of chemicals and cats of all things and the police had to pull him over and get a narcotics squad. I was waiting for almost thirty minutes for clearance. The worst part was that the whole time his cats were meowing like crazy. At one point it even sounded like they were harmonizing. We should really open some windows. Let’s bring some light and fresh air in here! Anyways, I’m Dr. Rebecca Hunter, and how can I help you today.” While she said this monologue (in one breath mind you) she walked around the room, opening the windows and putting her things away. It wasn’t until she finished her flurry of movement and sat down that she noticed the three people in front of her.

They were all young and very attractive but all very different from each other. The first man was sitting straight up with slicked-back hair and a collared shirt, vest and tie. The sleeves were rolled up and the tie was loose. Rebecca wished the guys she knew could pull off casual sharp like that. He looked very serious and slightly exasperated. Rebecca hoped it wasn’t with her. Then the woman, she looked the youngest with her jeans and hoodie combo. The patterned scarf only furthered her hipster image. And yet, she didn’t look like she was trying very hard to achieve the look. Rebecca envied that; she always had a hard time finding herself in high school and college. The last man was lounging in her chair, almost sensually. He had lighter brown hair then the other two and stubble. That, and he was wearing a very interesting paisley button down shirt. She saw the tattoos peeking out from under the semi-translucent shirt and wondered what the hell these people were doing in her office. It wasn’t until the woman spoke that Rebecca noticed she was pregnant.

“Hello, I’m Ariande, this is Arthur and that’s Eames. We’re here to get a paternity test.” Ariadne said cheerfully, pointing to the men and acting like paternity tests were an everyday thing. Well to Rebecca, they kind of were. She was a geneticist.

“So these two men are the supposed fathers?” Rebecca asked, secretly impressed. This girl knew how to pick them. When Ariadne nodded, she continued.

“Alright, how many months along are you and do you know the date of your conception?” This time Arthur nodded and handed Rebecca a small notebook.

“She is exactly five months pregnant today and we recorded each instance of sex in the notebook since then, we’ve been trying for a baby.” Arthur said while Eames rolled his eyes and chuckled.

Well, congratulations and… thank you. Okay, I’ll ask the obvious question. On the day of conception, who did you have sex with?” Rebecca asked, thumbing through the notebook. Holy cow, these people were like rabbits. Ariadne blushed and Eames answered for her.

“We both did, love.” He said and Arthur looked at the ground with an almost unnoticeable smile. Rebecca paused.

“Oh yes, I can see that. Arthur and Eames 9:00 AM DP.” This time Arthur blushed and Eames gave a very noticeable smile.

“I understand the writing of this, but one question if I may. What’s DP? It’s in here a lot.” Rebecca said not hearing Ariadne whisper at Arthur, “You really wrote that?!” There was silence and then it hit her. Her mouth slowly dropped open and her eyes became big.

You three are together? Not that I care or am against that sort of thing, whatever floats your boat.” Rebecca stammered. When all three of them nodded, she nodded right back. Then her mouth decided to speak without her permission.

“You mean, you with both of them, at the same time? You go girl!” Rebecca said extending her hand for a high five. Ariadne just stared at her and Rebecca pulled her hand back, blushing.

“Right anyways, since you are five months the only option for a paternity test before birth is amniocentesis. This is an invasive procedure that is performed by your obstetrician and the results are sent to us for testing. Basically what happens is your doctor will perform an ultrasound and then insert a needle into your abdomen and collect about 10 ml of amniotic fluid. That, with the suspected fathers’ DNA will be tested for a match.” Rebecca said.

“But, is it dangerous? What are the risks?” Ariadne asked quietly. Rebecca took out a pamphlet from her desk and handed it to her.

“A miscarriage is the biggest risk but the chances of that is 1 to 200. You might experience cramping or soreness around the sight of injection. But other than that, it’ s actually a very safe and helpful procedure. We can even test for any genetic disorders or mutations.” Eames looked at the pamphlet and smiled. Ariadne and Arthur smiled back.

“Alright then Doc, sign us up and take our DNA.” Eames said cheerily. Rebecca got out some cotton swabs and tubes. She walked in front of Arthur who obediently opened his mouth. She swabbed and placed the cotton swab in a tube. She repeated this with Ariadne and walked over to Eames.

“Open wide Mr. Eames.” He responded by sticking out his tongue and saying “Ahhhh!” loudly. Arthur hit him gently upside the head.

“Well, I’ll send these off to the lab and wait for the baby’s sample. My receptionist will help you set up an appointment with your obstetrician and I’ll see you in a few weeks.

After exchanging goodbyes, the threesome walked out of the office and Rebecca smiled secretly to herself. She wondered if they knew yet; either way it was going to be a pleasant surprise.

........

Rebecca was not late. In fact, she was early. She was sitting in her chair when Arthur, Ariadne and Eames walked in. They were dressed similar to before, Rebecca noted interestingly. They sat down and Rebecca placed three folders in front of them.

“First off, welcome back. I hope the procedure went well with little pain.”

Ariadne nodded. “It hurt a little but we found out that we’re having TWINS! A boy and a girl!” She exclaimed. Rebecca noticed the unhidden smiles on the men’s faces.

“Congrats, that’s wonderful! I had a feeling it would be twins. You seemed very large for only five months. And one of each, how great!” She said. Then she opened the first folder.

“Even more good news, the babies are perfectly healthy with no genetic abnormalities or deformities. Also, you’re the mom!” Rebecca said, giggling. After a pause of letting the parents look at the charts, she spoke up.

“Ready to find out who the daddy is?” She said excitedly. When they all nodded she opened the folders.

“Arthur, you are the father of a perfect little girl. And you, Mr. Eames are the father of a perfect little boy. Congratulations to all of you!” Rebecca said to their shocked faces.

“How is that even possible? How can we both be the fathers?” Arthur asked incredulously.

“Well, you’re obviously having fraternal twins, because they’re different genders. That means two eggs, two sperm. If both of you ejaculated in Ariadne at the same time, it’s entirely possible for each of your sperm to fertilize an egg. Therefore, you are both the dads-to-be.” Rebecca explained.

The rest of the meeting passed in a blur. As she walked the new parents to the door for the last time, she was a little sad. She had only met these people twice and already she felt connected to them. She wished them every happiness and walked back into her office.

5 Months Later

Rebecca walked into her office at exactly the right time. This time Karen didn’t say anything; she just handed over her mail. Rebecca sat at her desk after opening the windows to let in the spring breeze. The usual: newsletters, new drug information, junk. But, there was one that was different. It didn’t have a return address and looked like it went through hell and back to get to her. She opened it and inside was a picture in perfect condition. It was a birth announcement. The picture showed an obviously glowing Ariadne with a smiling Arthur and Eames. And in their arms were a baby boy and girl. Their hair was light brown and wispy and they had very beautiful blue eyes. Rebecca smiled and hung it on her bulletin board. She loved her job.
